Faultline Artspace is home to a vibrant community of Oakland artists who create, collaborate, and exhibit their work in our artist studios in East Oakland. Founded in 2011, our 25+ resident artists represent a diverse range of styles and mediums — from contemporary painting and sculpture to experimental printmaking and installation art.

Our studios are part of a larger creative ecosystem that includes Faultline Gallery, life drawing sessions, and screen printing facilities, making Faultline one of the most dynamic art spaces in the Bay Area. Whether you’re an art collector, curator, or fellow creative, this is where Oakland’s next generation of artists are building their craft.
